Football coaches host 2nd Power in Pink

August 29, 2014

Several STC students and community members got a taste of the great sport of football at the Power in Pink Clinic on Monday Aug. 25.

The Clinic was organized by Vickie Hoskey, Amber Bolen and Chelsea Ahrens and was a fundraiser for the STC football teams.

At the clinic the girls were broken into groups. Each group got a chance at four stations led by the STC football coaching staff. Head Coach Jay Hoskey taught a session on throwing a football, assistant coach Nate Doran coached the girls on the art of tackling, Nate Van Dyke and Scot Bolen led a session about how to run routes and Cort Ahrens showed how to properly block.
